Hi, ErmaCdays have passed. the trunk still does not get updates .what's wrong ?the flag truly works

The things are not so easy as you maybe hope.

I have write access at the Chameleon SVN, but the main trunk code is maintained by other admin developer.So I prefer no add stuff to the main code.. Other things is the pkg stuff and Graphics ID, I can do it w/o problemsis not so critical as for other part of code.In other word... I prefer not change the main code by myself.

Thanks for explaining.Sorry for my rudeness. anyway, I will still be waiting for trunk updates

Hi ErmaC,
Latest 2060 boot file misidentifies my video card, ATI 5450 (Cedar, or Cypress) as an Eulemur, thus prompting OS X to load the wrong Framework The result is a black screen, no signal. I revert back to boot file of 2050 and it boots with the correct card. I am only saying so you know.
Thank you.

On Mountain Lion, using darkwake=0 disables the autosleep. When I use the darkwake=0, the system (almost) never automatically sleeps. And when I removed it, it sleep every time without a problem.

But, the reason I use the darkwake switch is, without 'darkwake=0', the lights&fans kick-in when I try to wake it from sleep, goes back to sleep in ~5 seconds. I've accidentally found that if I press the power button second time during that ~5 second period, it wakes up and monitors/system came online.

I'm not sure this can be fixed with the bootloader..

ErmaC, could you please pass this to devs. Or is there a official bug report method?

Is it sure + safe that ALL parts of the bootloaders (beside /boot file) get updated / reinstalled if i install chameleonpkg or chimera.pkg?I ask because i am unsure if ALWAYSboot0hfs and boot1h got updated too, even if those files exist (but as older versions!).

EDIT: I looked at the last chameleon installer log.Seems that some existing (but older/different files) didnt get updated.

With Enoch-i386-2060.zip I had to move the DSDT.aml back to /Extra from /Extra/ACPI for it to work, is that normal?

Hey Dan.My previous post was referring to the trunk code base (as per this threads title).I have not used the Enoch branch so I can't comment as to what code base is used and therefore what steps may or may not be required when setting up your /extra folder.

Hi MitchThe boot0 / boot1 files have not been updated for a while with the last change to any of the boot0 variants being over 10 months ago. And the last change to any of the boot1 variants being over 1 year ago. You can check for any recent changes by looking at the trunk source code here.

Posted 17 September 2012 - 12:28 PM

Have a look at the boot0 directory in the source code and you will see the code files and associated dates of the last change for each boot0 variant.

- boot0 and boot0hfs were last updated in rev1187- boot0md was last updated in rev1674

So there's no need to change boot0hfs unless the version you're using was installed before August 2011.

Other than date, identifying different versions of boot0 files can be done only by comparing the hex code as due to the file size restrictions of these files, there are no ascii strings embedded for easy identification.

thank you all so much
I am gonna try it out tonight
the thing is I am still trying to let windows os to see all the partitions that it does need to be seen
and one more thing
when I tried to erase the first logical partition in the extended partition when i lunch lion to make it hfs+ it fails but if I try to do that on another logical partition no problem
so I am going to make chameleon partition as the first logical partition in this mess
I am trying to let the mac os to be as vanilla as possible
question : how do I install chameleon on extended (logical) partition ??
if I want to use different chameleon settings with each mac os installation what should I do ( smbios , kexts ,,,, )??
